Wasatch unveils new version of SoftRIP tool

Wasatch has launched SoftRIP Version 7.0, the fastest version yet of the US-headquartered company’s software.

Driven by the requirements of a new generation of high-speed imaging technology, SoftRIP Version 7.0 allows users to create, edit, delete and manage thousands of unique jobs every day. In SoftRIP Version 7.0, it is said to be ‘perfectly natural’ to maintain 10,000 entries in a print queue.

Although SoftRIP has been sold for digital narrow web label printing for several years, Version 7.0 is the first release to specifically address converting. Users will find support for rotary cutting equipment and enhanced die-cutting features for bleeds and round corners on digital cutters.

Along with the Version 7.0 release of SoftRIP is the Version 2.0 release of Wasatch Variable Data Printing (VDP). VDP 2.0 introduces variable QR codes and special rendering features essential to barcode print quality. VDP 2.0's new Fast Layout tool makes generation of 10,000 variable labels easy and automated.

Wasatch SoftRIP Version 7.0 supports industrial printing, not only with speed, but also with powerful system integration tools. The new XML-based interface makes it possible for system integrators and sophisticated users to control Wasatch SoftRIP via HTML and JavaScript running entirely in a web browser, or via customized network software or ‘XML hot folders’. Customized user interfaces can be made to run on any computer, iPad or smartphone, and anywhere in the user’s facility or on the internet.
